I'd also go for #2 due to the fact the KM are low and that u can build your own machine :D ...It may cost a little more but u'll love it just that much more.
KL-ZE, Custom Intake, Apex Lowering Springs, and more to come this year.

Where's the fun in gettin a car thats already done up.....thats the best part......just my opinion. I think gettin a car with sh*t done to it is like copying and that u can't think of ur own creative ideas.......unless if u buy white fish's car, maybe change some stuff like rims and front bumper, and put a KL-ZE instead of KL-03<p>I would go with the stock one, # 2 ;)

yeah man, go with number 2,yeah its cool to start with a souped up car in a lot of peoples opions but not mine, i like personally to see my car grow from what i have done to it, that way you know your car a lot of better if you do everything so its good to learn your car,when i first got my car i didnt know much about the mx, now doing my interior myself, i know the inside of the car like under the dash very good and i find it fun doing all that ****, but before you start to customize your car, make sure its running the best it possibly can, that was my mistake, but i learned, lol<p> peace, (5 speed, i think i can speak for derek and my self on this one, we are jelous, lol)

lol, yeah i know where your coming from but, i have all the same **** as you, loan, insurance and paying for school all for part time job and i bought my mx stock, i got some nice deals on what i do have but im glad i bought it stock over buying one already modded, its a lot more fun this way, you just have to save every penny, but there are tons of mods to do that are cheaper then you think, plus if you buy one modded right from the beginning, and its the same price as the other, yeah it looks good, but my questions would be, whats wrong under the hood, cause what good is a nice looking car at the top of your driveway???

Well apparently nothing to these cars. I dunno I did alot of figures and the money I would have extra isn't a whole lot and not to mention I don't know a whole lot about modding cars, but that is somethign I am going to learn about.

man, if you ask me and probally everyone on here, all the fun is trying to save up to pay for that wing or that bodykit, that way you like it more if you saved up for it and put it on yourself, but this is all personal, i had the choice of buying a modded car or buy a stock one, and like you say you dont know anything about doing up your car, well thats what all of us are for bro, i bet if you wanna do, someone on here has either done it, doing it, or gonna be doing it, but its your choice right<p> peace and good luck

Well with all that said I'm probably gonna look into the Red 94 with ~70,000kms.<p>Beyond the stereo what should the first mods I do to my car be? Remember my budget is not that great and if you can provide some links about that part or where to buy it, it would be greatly appreciated.<p>Thanks for all the help.

I'd like a number two combo please, and that's "to go"...<p>If you don't care about making the car your own then go with whatever you want... but if you want to spend money on the car start with the basic's and build up... unless you have a girlfriend then well you know where your money will go... Hahaha!<p>But once you start mod'ing your car you won't stop... it's like a really expensive adiction... well for me at least... unless you can resist... :p
